GRIZ OFFENSE • Quarterback The loss of Ochs as well as quality senior backup Jeff Disney cannot be underestimated. Ochs, who signed a free agent contract with the San Diego Chargers last spring, accounted for 33 of Montana’s 36 touchdown passes. He was not only an outstanding leader and passer, but was an adept scrambler as well. Redshirt freshman and jun­ ior transfer Jason Washington ended spring drills in a head-to-head battle for the starting berth, and that competition carried over into fall camp. “Losing Craig Ochs is a big blow to our football team,” said third-year head coach Bobby Hauck. “As I’ve said before, he’s the best quarterback I’ve been around. But, that’s the nature of college football. You graduate your seniors, and you find guys who can pick up the slack and that’s what needs to hap­ pen on offense. iiilSliii “That doesn’t necessarily mean that we need our quarterbacks to replace Craig’s pro­ Junior Quarterback Jason Washington (Photo by Redshirt Freshman Quarterback Cole Bergquist duction, but we do need our entire offense Tom Bauer, Missoulian) (Photo by Tom Bauer, Missoulian)

However, Montana also returns several upperclassmen with starting experience to go along with some of those talented freshmen and sophomores. Senior honors candidate Brad Rhoades, an honorable mention all-conference pick last year, has started the past two seasons at both tackle and guard and will start at right tackle. Cody Balogh started UM’s final three games last season as a true freshman and will start at left tackle.

The only other MONTANA GRIZZLIES • 2005 Outlook In just two seasons Murphy is tied with Spencer in stops for losses with 23.5, and he also has 14-plus sacks. Murphy was first team all-league last year, while Spencer was named to the second team. Murphy was named a second team All-American by As­ sociated Press, and he had team-highs of 17 tackles for loss and 12 sacks. Dlouhy was hampered with an injury mid­ way through the year, but when he took over as the starter when Spencer was lost due to an injury, he came on strong. Two of the youngsters Hauck was refer­ ring to earlier are Kroy Biermann (who was moved from linebacker to end) and Mike Stadnyk. Both played and contributed last season as true freshmen. “This could be a very solid position for us,” Hauck said. “We’re deep there, we’re tal­ ented, and we have the ability to come off the ball and get after the passer.
